How relationships can shape future business
It is no secret. People don’t do business with business, but with people. In spite of our quick fix world, where instant gratification has become the norm, wise and successful business people are recognising relationship as the most important currency needed to survive.
Listen to wisdom from your body
Have you ever become aware of a gnawing stomach ache that crops up without warning? Or a splitting headache when you can least afford to stop working? We can fool ourselves about our stress levels, but there is one communication channel that keeps the score – our body. Although the reaction might come after the event, the body has a way of sending out warning signals when the burden has become too heavy for you.
Clear out your basement
We have all, to lesser and greater degrees, been scarred in our childhoods. I am pretty sure of this. Because we were raised by humans. They could have been good, clever, loving, and caring, but there has never been a handbook for perfect parenting.
Are you an over-giver?
The joy of giving is a slogan easily misused by money-making retailers at Christmas time and emotional celebrations like Mother’s and Father’s Day. Simply because these times lend themselves to playing on people’s emotions and guilt feelings.
Is jy ‘n goeie foutvinder?
‘n Vriendin wat besighede help om op koers te bly, deel onlangs ‘n interessante voorval met my. Sy is, in temperament-taal, Blou-Rooi. Sy is taakgerig in die eerste, tweede en derde plek. In haar boek moet mense gefokus wees, erns maak met hulle geld en hulle besighede en hulle twak laat staan.
Who’s on your VIP list?
There is a reason it is often referred to as a disease – the disease to please. And because the so-called Pleasers make others’ lives easier with their permanent willingness to serve or to pick up the tab, no one wants them to change – or to see the light.
Gooi jy die pyn toe
Dis nooit lekker om iemand te sien ly nie. Nie fisieke nie maar ook nie emosionele pyn nie. Sommige van ons – veral die mensgerigtes – kry saam met ander fisies swaar. Dis asof jy hulle verlies in jou eie maag voel. Dis waar die woord simpatie vandaan kom – dit beteken letterlik om saam met iemand te ly.
Kleuter of oumens
Was jy al in die geselskap van ‘n irriterende mens? Een wat sy eie beuel blaas of alles beter weet, of wat keer dat die vergadering tot ‘n punt kom omdat hy of sy nie die groter prentjie kan raaksien nie?
Take care, Mr. Moody
Ebb and flow, mountain and valley, highs and lows. That is nature and that is life.
Oogkontak
Ek kan my verkyk aan mense. Omdat ek baie ure op lughawens deurbring, het dit al vir my tweede natuur geword om my mede-reisigers dop te hou en met verbeelding te wonder oor wat in hulle lewens aangaan.
